The Other Garden, a group show inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' (image above) exhibited late April at Nancy Victor. Working across a range of disciplines and media, four artists explore themes of temptation and paradise lost, voyeurism and privacy, curiosity, obsession and gratification.

Since graduating from Central Saint Martin's in 2012, Anya Charikov-Mickleburgh, Laura Dekker, Liz Sergeant and Dina Varpahovsky have continued to develop their individual practices and also collaborate as members of the art collective XAP.

Nancy Victor were extremely happy to present the exhibition, 52 Words A Year, an online project by three London-based illustrators, culminating in 156 drawings, illustrating 52 words from February 2014 to February 2015.

A year ago, Mayumi Mori, Leni Kauffman and Oliver O’Keeffe came together and created the project “52 Words a Year”. Every week a word was selected, and each illustrator interpreted it in their own way. The project has developed the creativity and flexibility of the artists and tested approach to their practice.

The strength of the drawings noticeably grows each week as the illustrators become more fluid and confident in their chosen visual language. Their styles are at once distinctive and experimental in approach, the confidence of the artists building as the project progresses, culminating in an eclectic but surprisingly cohesive array of images. This exhibition commemorates the completion of the 52 words.

The exhibition runs until Saturday 18th April at 4pm. A price list for the exhibition is available to view here.
